Wat Doi Pha Tang, a temple in Chiang Rai
Location: Wat Doi Pha Tang, Chiang Rai
Atmosphere: Stop by on your way back from Phu Chi Fa and Doi Pha Tang. It's a small temple, but it offers a very beautiful viewpoint with great photo spots. The road up and down is very steep and narrow, so be careful. Come to make merit and pay respects to the Buddha before or after your trip for a safe journey. Sathu.

#WinterTravel
Place: Chiang Rai sea of mist viewing point at Phu Chi Fa
Atmosphere: One of the most beautiful views in Chiang Rai. The mountain peak is very beautiful. Come early in the morning, which the weather is unpredictable. The weather is windy and cloudy. The hiking time is not long, about 20 minutes. Suitable for beginners, even families with young children. The mountain peak is not very crowded and there are only a few beautiful photo spots. You can see a 360-degree view and the sign of the border between Laos and Thailand.

Atmosphere: Beautiful flower scenery, Thai Cherry Blossoms, pink flowers or Thai Sakura. The road up is slightly steep, drive slowly. During winter, this place is worth visiting and taking pictures with the Thai Cherry Blossoms. There are many trees and they bloom beautifully.

Banpot Wittaya School (Cherry Blossoms)
Atmosphere: During the blooming of the Himalayan cherry blossoms, Banpot Wittaya School is another popular place to come and see the beauty of the Himalayan cherry blossoms. They are blooming all over the school, very beautiful. But when I went, they were just starting to bloom, so there weren't many flowers yet. What a shame.

Phu Chi Fa at Good View
A wooden box house on a hill, more than 1,300 meters above sea level!!! The weather is cool and comfortable, even on a sunny day, it's not too hot. This rainy season, we would like to recommend you to try visiting #Phu Chi Fa.
A homestay on Phu Chi Fa guarantees freshness and coolness. In this rainy season, the forest is green and fresh, looking everywhere is really pleasing to the eye. The rooms have both dome tents in 2 sizes and square houses with complete amenities, a soft 6-foot bed, air conditioning, refrigerator, sink, and bathroom that is just as beautiful as any other with a sink that takes in the view of the mountain like this, like brushing your teeth floating in the sky. Really awesome.
The bathtub on the balcony is considered one of the highest bathtubs in the country, I think.
For dinner, we had a barbecue and watched the sunset. It ended with a great atmosphere like this.
Breakfast: fried eggs and simple wafers Snack before going up to Phu Chi Fa

🌫 A SEA OF MIST 🌫
A glimpse of the sea of mist at Phu Chi Fa 🌤🌿🍃🛵
A hidden jewel in Northern Thailand, near the Laos border, is home to one of the most stunning sunrises you'll ever witness. It's named Phu Chi Fah (), and while it's well-known among Thai visitors to Chiang Rai, it's still relatively unknown to most international visitors. That's all the more reason to put it on your to-do list!
The name Phu Chi Fah literally means "mountain that points to the sky," and it's easy to see why. Just look at the silhouette it creates against the morning light. But that isn't even the most exciting aspect. It's like standing on top of the globe once you've reached the summit.
We landed at Phu Chi Fah the night before for this excursion and awoke in the wee hours of the morning (as in 5 am early). It's critical to get at the lookout before the sun sets over the horizon, but we were rewarded with a spectacular daybreak. We stood there watching as the sun's warm light poured through the mists that blanketed the mountains below, showing only Laos' jungle-covered summits.

Chiang Rai trip continues with a beautiful flower festival
This trip, we woke up at 3 am. We drove our family from home at 5:30 am and arrived at Phu Chi Fa at almost 7 am. 😅 When we arrived, the view was worth millions. It was very beautiful. As for the atmosphere, there is no need to talk about it. It was very beautiful and the weather was very cold. There were a lot of people camping and setting up tents. The resort was beautiful. At 9 am, we went to Doi Pha Tang or the gate of heaven. Phu Chi Fa was already beautiful. When we went to Doi Pha Tang, it was very beautiful. 😱😱❤️ Near noon, we went to the beautiful flower festival in Chiang Rai. It was very beautiful. #Missing nature #Missing nature #Beautiful accommodations throughout Thailand

Phu Chi Fa Camp, if you don't go, you won't know. Experience the peak of Phu 6 °
It's not easy for a person who's afraid of the cold like us to stay in a place where the temperature is only about 10 degrees. But once in a lifetime, we have to try everything. For those who are looking for a great place to stay near Phu Chi Fa, we recommend Phu Chi Fa Camp. It's worth staying at. They have tents to sleep in. The tents are right next to the mountain. If the weather is a bit humid, the sea of fog will come right in front of the tents. They have clean shared bathrooms. They have breakfast that you can make yourself. They have a car to take you up to Phu Chi Fa. And there's also a cute dog named "Chao Mee" to welcome you. You have to try it at least once. #ResortWorthStaying

Phu Chi Fa
Phu Chi Fa is another famous place in Chiang Rai that many people want to visit. We woke up at 4 AM to catch the shuttle from our accommodation that would take us to Phu Chi Fa. The shuttle can only go so far, and we had to walk the rest of the way. The path was generally okay, with some rough patches, but not dangerous. We complained a bit while walking, but once we reached the top and the sun started to rise, all the fatigue disappeared. It was totally worth it. The view was absolutely stunning!

#Receive a discount without relying on luck. A dream trip that many people wanted to go on but couldn't go on, and our small group has made it happen today. We planned for over a year to get to this point, riding motorcycles around Thailand in a figure eight. The route to Phu Chi Fa was also on our list. Phu Chi is a mountain that many tourists walk to. Thais and foreigners come up to Phu Chi Fa to see the sea of mist and the sunrise.

The forest park area is a high peak in the Doi Pha Mon mountain range, on the border of Thailand and Laos. It is a long cliff along the border. The tip of the cliff is pointed like a finger pointing into the air, which is the origin of the name "Phu Chi Fa". The bottom of the cliff is a valley.

This winter, the cold weather is very long. AG did not hesitate to organize a trip up north to Chiang Rai Province. The destination that we must go to is Phu Chi Fa.
AG booked a resort before reaching Phu Chi Fa National Park and booked a car with the resort to go up to Phu Chi Fa National Park. The car we went to was at 5:00 AM. When we arrived at the parking lot, we had to get out of the car and walk up to the top of the mountain. The route is about 700 meters (the route is rough and steep, so prepare shoes, clothes, and a place to rest). But what I like here is that along the way, there are 2-3 places to sit and rest or places where you can see the sea of mist. This is a service for those who cannot walk up to the top of the mountain.
When we walked up to the top of Phu Chi Fa, the view in front of us was very beautiful. The mountain range in front of us started to have a sea of mist rising more and more. And the sun gradually appeared until it was full. The light shone beautifully amidst the sea of mist. I received good energy. It was worth the effort.
Phu Chi Fa Forest Park

Phu Chi Fa Forest Park
Located high in the mountains near the Laos border, Phu Chi Fa offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains, especially at sunrise. The park is a popular destination for camping and hiking, with several trails leading to viewpoints and waterfalls. The name "Phu Chi Fa" translates to "mountain pointing to the sky," reflecting the dramatic landscape. The park is a great place to escape the crowds and experience the natural beauty of northern Thailand.
Doi Pha Tang Review: A romantic sunset view
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
When it comes to must-see viewpoints in Chiang Rai, Doi Pha Tang is definitely on the list! It is about 100 kilometers from Chiang Rai city, located in Wiang Kaen District, an area on the Thai-Laos border where you can see a full view of Luang Prabang Mountain.
The highlight is the 1-hour hike up the mountain to the top. This is where the sunset is so stunning! We went in November, the weather was nice and cool, and the view from the top was worth the climb.
Tips:
• Wear sturdy shoes because some areas are slippery.
• Prepare a camera to capture the awesome moments.
Don't miss out, nature lovers!

That's it, folks! Just this much is already amazing. You can travel in just one day. If you have more time, 💖go sleep at Phu Chi Fa. Climb up to the top of Phu Chi Fa to see the sea of fog. There's nothing better than letting yourself go and relaxing on the mountain top. It's even more fantastic when there are fewer people around.

The sea at Mo Pha Tang is extremely magnificent.
Once at Pha Tang, Chiang Rai Province, traveling from Chiang Khong up, you can easily walk up to see the sea of fog.
Doi Pha Tang actually has 3 hills: 102, 103, 104.
The easy point to walk to is hill 102, 103, which is a very beautiful viewpoint. But hill 103 is a bit far, but it's okay.
As for hill 104, you have to rent a car to go up, the price is 600 baht. We didn't go.
Actually, hills 102-103, looking at the map, are on the Lao side. The sea of fog comes from the Mekong River on the Lao side.
And go up to the community no later than 6 am so it's not too hot.
The day we went, there weren't many people.
Along the way, there is a viewpoint. The bus stop is also beautiful.
If anyone has been there, please come and share with us. 😃

A circle at Phu Chi Fa National Park
In this cold weather, we would like to suggest
a trip to Phu Chi Fa National Park. This is a tourist attraction that is open for visitors all year round. If we go during the rainy season, it would be great because this place is famous for being a tourist attraction during the rainy season. Tourists can walk up to the top of the mountain by themselves without a guide. The wind is strong up there, but the air is cool and comfortable. If you don't have a place to visit during the rainy season, we recommend that you try to visit here at least once!
